In this Fig. 4, the transmitance of the light of diagram under each wavelength of 400nm to 1200nm.
In above-mentioned Fig. 4, the transmitance of spectral filter 2G is elongated along with wavelength, from slowly rising near the 640nm.
Near, the infrared portion 800nm sharply rising elongated of the transmitance of spectral filter 2B along with wavelength.
General photo detector is observed under the wave band of 400nm-1200nm.Therefore, in existing imaging apparatus, in the long infrared portion of wavelength ratio visible light wave band (for example 400nm-700nm), by the infrared portion component of infrared cut off filter by incident light, in remaining visible light wave band, use spectral filter to carry out look and separate.
On the contrary, in the imaging apparatus 1 of present embodiment, except that spectral filter 2G, 2B, 2R, the correction filter 2Blk of component of the light filter 2g that also to possess stacked green and red component of the light filter 2r.

The transmitance of revising filter 2Blk is the transmitance of the spectral filter 2G among above-mentioned Fig. 4 and the value of amassing of the transmitance of spectral filter 2R.
This correction filter 2Blk has following characteristic, and promptly the transmitance in the infrared portion suppresses transmitance than the height of visible light wave band under the visible light wave band, is high permeability under infrared portion.That is, revise filter 2Blk and under the visible light wave band, have inhibition, under infrared portion, have through characteristic through characteristic.In the present embodiment, the transmitance of the transmitance of the correction filter 2Blk under the infrared portion and other spectral filter 2G, 2B, 2R is roughly the same.
Therefore, in the present embodiment,, deduct the integrated value of the transmitance of the long wavelength side after the about 640nm that revises filter 2Blk, can carry out high-precision look and separate as can be known by from the integrated value of the transmitance of each spectral filter 2G, 2B, 2R.
The transmitance of the spectral filter 2G of green usefulness is described here.
The transmitance of the spectral filter 2G of green usefulness has following characteristic, promptly near 450nm, along with wavelength is elongated, near temporary transient rising the, and 650nm, along with wavelength is elongated, transmitance rises once more.
Therefore, though near the transmitance elevated areas (780) of this long wavelength side is red sector territory or infrared portion, the spectral filter 2G of green usefulness also sees through light.Therefore, former state ground like this, the photo detector 3G of green usefulness can observe the component of red zone or infrared portion as green component.
Therefore, in the present embodiment, utilize resin bed 7 to suppress green transmitance riser portions, be near the transmitance of (for example between the 700nm-800nm) 780nm with the infrared portion under the spectral filter 2G.
Fig. 6 is the transmitance of expression resin bed 7 and the curve that concerns an example of wavelength.
By overlapping this resin bed 7 and the green spectral filter 2G that use, via resin bed 7 with green with spectral filter 2G, by green photo detector 3G observation incident light, prevent to observe the red wavelength region may or the component of infrared portion by green photo detector 3G.
In the present embodiment, deduct the area (integrated value) of the transmitance when in revising filter 2Blk, having made up resin bed 7 in the area (integrated value) by the transmitance when among spectral filter 2G, 2B of all kinds, 2R, having made up resin bed 7, obtain the transmitance of observation usefulness of all kinds, but the high accuracy ground colour separates.
Below, the observation of imaging apparatus 1 execution of present embodiment is described.
Photo detector is generally observed under the optical wavelength about 400nm-1200nm.
Wherein, think that the appreciable visible light wave band of people is generally the zone about 400nm-700nm.
Therefore, by only observing the component in the light component of measuring by each photo detector, in the visible light wave band, can obtain more observed result near people's vision.
But, as above-mentioned shown in Figure 4, even if spectral filter 2G of all kinds, 2B, 2R in the long ripple zone of wavelength ratio visible light wave band, be in the infrared portion, also have high transmitance.
Therefore, if former state by photo detector observation by the light after spectral filter 2G, 2B, the 2R beam split, then photo detector also observes the not component in the infrared portion of perception of people in the incident light component sometimes, obtains and people's vision observed result devious.
Therefore, in the imaging apparatus 1 of present embodiment, use observed result, revise the observed result that photo detector obtains infrared portion.
In the present embodiment, incident light is via lenticule 8, resin bed 7, again via one of spectral filter 2G, 2B, 2R and correction filter 2Blk, by photo detector 3G, 3B, 3R and correction photo detector 3Blk observation.
Promptly, in the present embodiment, observed data value Dg, Db, Dr, Dblk that photo detector 3G, 3B, 3R and correction photo detector 3Blk obtain are subjected to the influence of the transmitance of resin bed 7, and are subjected to the influence of the transmitance of spectral filter 2G, 2B, 2R and correction filter 2Blk respectively.
Particularly, be that the transmitance of the transmitance of resin bed 7 and spectral filter 2G is long-pending via the transmitance of the incident light of resin bed 7 and spectral filter 2G.
Via the transmitance of the incident light of resin bed 7 and spectral filter 2B is that the transmitance of the transmitance of resin bed 7 and spectral filter 2B is long-pending.
Via the transmitance of the incident light of resin bed 7 and spectral filter 2R is that the transmitance of the transmitance of resin bed 7 and spectral filter 2R is long-pending.
Transmitance via resin bed 7 and the incident light of revising filter 2Blk is that the transmitance of resin bed 7 and the transmitance of revising filter 2Blk are long-pending.
Fig. 7 is illustrated in the transmitance when having made up resin bed 7 among spectral filter 2G, 2B, 2R and the correction filter 2Blk and the curve that concerns an example of wavelength.
Transmitance when having made up resin bed 7 in spectral filter 2G, 2B, 2R and correction filter 2Blk is because the effect of above-mentioned resin bed 7 shown in Figure 6 is compared step-down near the wave band 780nm with the situation of above-mentioned Fig. 4 and Fig. 5.
In addition, the spectral characteristic that has made up resin bed 7 in spectral filter 2G, 2B, 2R and correction filter 2Blk becomes approximate state in infrared portion.
Transmitance when having made up resin bed 7 in revising filter 2Blk is under the visible light wave band, transmitance is extremely low, in the long infrared portion of wavelength ratio visible light wave band, the degree that transmitance uprises the same when in each spectral filter 2G, 2B, 2R, having made up resin bed 7.
Therefore, the incident light component under the infrared portion beyond the correction photo detector 3Blk may observe visible light wave band.In addition, revising the observed result that photo detector 3G, 3B, 3R obtain, can obtain the only observed data value of all kinds under the visible light wave band by utilize revising observed result that photo detector 3Blk obtains.
Effect to the imaging apparatus 1 of the above-mentioned present embodiment of above explanation describes below.
In the present embodiment, the component that comprises the zone of the 780nm in the infrared portion in the incident light is absorbed by resin bed 7.
And, observe incident light via spectral filter 2G of all kinds, 2B, 2R, and, incident light observed at infrared portion via the correction filter 2Blk that height sees through.
In addition, from green, blue, red observed data value, deduct observed data value via resin bed 7 and correction filter 2Blk via resin bed 7 and each spectral filter 2G, 2B, 2R, carry out the correction of green, blue, red observed data value, obtain revised green, blue, red observed data value.Thus, can obtain the observed data value under the visible light wave band in the incident light accurately.
In the present embodiment, the infrared cut off filter that possesses in the optical system of existing camera module can be omitted, lens optical system and camera attenuation can be made, can be efficiently and suitably carry out observation based on photo detector.
Under the situation of using existing absorption-type infrared cut off filter, when red, green sensitivity reduced, color rendering descended sometimes.Promptly, in the integral body of the front of imaging apparatus, possess under the situation of infrared cut off filter with above-mentioned spectral characteristic shown in Figure 35, because the component of visible light wave band 550nm-700nm wave band also can be absorbed by infrared cut off filter, so green, especially red sometimes sensitivity descends.
In addition, possess under the situation of infrared cut off filter in the integral body of the front of imaging apparatus, be subjected to the influence of the spectral characteristic of above-mentioned Figure 35, each photo detector that possesses 300,000-1,000 ten thousand usually damages delicate red reproduction sometimes.
But, in the present embodiment,,, color rendering is improved so the sensitivity that does not have under the visible light wave band descends owing to also can not use the absorption-type infrared cut off filter, the reproducibility of color is improved.
In the present embodiment, possesses the resin bed 7 that suppresses transmitance near light wavelength 780nm the zone in the imaging apparatus 1.
In above-mentioned Fig. 4, the transmitance of the side that wavelength ratio light wavelength 640nm is long has deviation between the spectral filter 2B of green spectral filter 2G and indigo plant, and is maximum in the difference of 780nm left and right sides transmitance.
But, in the present embodiment, by suppress the transmitance of 780nm left and right sides wave band by resin bed 7, can be in the long side of wavelength ratio 640nm, make the transmitance that sees through resin bed 7 and the light of green spectral filter 2G, with to see through resin bed 7 roughly the same with the transmitance of the light of blue spectral filter 2B, can make it with to see through resin bed 7 in the long side of wavelength ratio 640nm approximate with the transmitance of the light of revising filter 2Blk.
Thus, by from transmitance area (integrated value), deduct based on the transmitance area (integrated value) of resin bed 7, but the high accuracy ground colour separates with the combination of revising filter 2Blk based on resin bed 7 and the combination of spectral filter 2G of all kinds, 2B, 2R.
Under the situation of using existing infrared cut off filter, because from about 550nm, light is absorbed by infrared cut off filter, so red or green sometimes sensitivity descends, but in the present embodiment, because the long side of the about 700nm of the wavelength ratio of a long side is carried out the absorption of light in the wavelength ratio viewing area, red and green color rendering is improved.
That is, in the present embodiment, owing to needn't be equipped with infrared cut off filter at the light incident side of photo detector, so can make the imaging apparatus attenuation.
In addition, in the present embodiment, owing to needn't be equipped with infrared cut off filter, so can prevent under the visible light wave band, the indigo plant of incident light, red observed result can improve color rendering because of infrared cut off filter is affected, photo detector descends to blue, red observed result.
